Preface
As the saying goes: "When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds", but there are many nationalities, everything can be done, and sometimes as Chinese, it is really difficult to understand the customs of other ethnic groups, because their customs are really too strange and very ruined.
India
Speaking of strange customs, the strangeness of India's Ah San is undeserved, and the editor is very skeptical about why India is listed as one of the four ancient civilizations, is it really civilized? The caste system is still preserved, is it really good to divide people into three, six, nine and so on?

Let's not talk about these big ones, let's take a look at the strange customs in their lives today, which is also an eye-opener.
Can you believe that they don't have toilet paper in India? Yes, that's right, it's hard to see toilet paper in India, because they don't use it.
Then everyone has questions, how do they wipe their little butts after going to the poo? You can't believe it.
They first wet their left hand and then wipe their buttocks directly with their left hands, wipe them while dipping them with water, and then clean their fingers with water.
They feel that their left hand is evil and dirty, so they use their left hand to wipe their buttocks, and their right hand to eat pilaf, or do other things, but there is always a time when two hands fight, aren't they afraid of E. coli entering the body?
Even better, there will be a high-pressure water gun on the wall of their toilet, the kind that will come out when you press it, and they use this faucet to flush their butts, thus replacing the role of paper.
But after washing, they always have to dry their wet buttocks with paper, but they don't have this thing, maybe their perennial high temperature there is a natural dryer.
Indonesia
After talking about the strange customs of the Indians to go to the toilet, let's talk about the more bizarre customs of going to the toilet, they are not allowed to go to the toilet directly, and the bladder will explode if they don't go to the bladder for a day, and this custom is not allowed to go to the toilet for three consecutive days.
This custom comes from the archipelago country of Southeast Asia - Indonesia, it is said that in the Daya tribe of the Tidong community in Indonesia, a couple can not go to the toilet within 3 days after marriage, whether it is urine or urine, they can not go to the toilet, it turns out that marriage can be so painful.
It is said that this custom is intended to test the seriousness of the couple in their future marriage, and that the other family members will be strictly supervised during these three days, and only a small amount of food and water will be given to them.
If someone cheats, they will be brought bad luck, such as the loss of a loved one, infertility or divorce, these are particularly vicious curses, if they can't hold it back, they will be sealed with something if they hold it to the limit.
Is it true that Indonesian wedding customs are so strict, on the contrary, there is another custom in Indonesia that all men are fascinated by.
The country does not oppose polygamy, as long as the eldest wife agrees, you can marry a second wife, as long as the first two wives agree, you can marry a third wife, as long as you have the economic strength to provide them with good living conditions.
Because there are too many older leftover women in Indonesia, boys are particularly scarce, for fear that they will not be able to get married, every time they go to the blind date ceremony, they are dressed up to attract boys.
What's even more enviable is that the man doesn't have to pay a bride price, but can bring the girl home after negotiating a dowry with the woman.
It's the other thing about Tiangang, there is wood, we have 388,000 people here, and they have to look at people's faces, everyone can have two or three wives, it's really more popular than people, no wonder they all say on the Internet that they are going to marry "foreign girls".
Their strange wedding customs are really love-hate and hate-hate, although they are not allowed to go to the toilet for three days after marriage, but in Indonesia, "hugging left and right" is not a dream.
Indonesia is not big, but it is really creating myths, in addition to the jaw-dropping marriage customs, the more explosive customs make people unbelievable.
It is said that the earth is safe, and the dead are great, but the people in Tolaya Village, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, don't think so, people will have the custom of cleaning corpses every year, and you will never believe what explosive information you will see!
That's right, it's to pull the corpses out for some dressing, to put on new clothes, to help them get up and walk on the ground, and then put them back in the coffin.
Then take the coffin and walk around the village in a "straight line" and finally return to the cemetery.
Mr. Zombie in the movie is weak or something, you look at this kind of corpse, it's really infiltrating.
Seeing their unbearable culture, the editor sometimes sighs, how lucky we are in China to have a figure like Confucius, who taught us the Three Principles and Five Constants, ethics and morality, who are they in Indonesia, no one teaches them, and all they leave behind is barbaric culture.
Japan
After talking about Indonesia, let's talk about Japan, they all say that Japan has a very strong learning ability, and has learned a lot of cultural skills from ancient times in the mainland, but after looking at their customs, Xiaobian feels that they have only learned the skin, and there is no ethics and morality at all.
For example, in ancient Japan, there was a custom called "night crawling", that is, men could climb into a woman's boudoir at night, whether it was an unmarried married person or a widow's boudoir, and then as long as the girl agreed, the two could "communicate deeply".
If this woman is too popular, there will be many men queuing in front of the house, and after the matter is over, the man is not responsible, this strange custom, the Japanese government even acquiesced in their existence, and it was not explicitly banned until Showa 13, that is, in 1938.
Because they have too little labor, they can add labor to the local village, and the woman will not feel ashamed to have a child, but will feel very proud, and the village will raise the child together.
You say that this kind of custom is strange or not, and it has completely lost the ethics of the program, benevolence, righteousness and morality.
epilogue
After reading these strange customs, the editor was shocked, but calm down and think about it, there is a saying: existence is reasonable, let's not see so many customs that destroy the three views and rise to a national problem.
Our own culture is different, but also created different customs and habits in various places, we stand in our own cultural perspective, look at others is wonderful, on the contrary, people look at us is also a different vision, so we still seek common ground while reserving differences, understand each other.
